PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING

SUBWOOFER

Sound spreads in all directions in the very low frequency range. Human hearing cannot easily detect the source of very low frequencies. Be sure to provide a space of at least 8 inches (20 cm) between the rear of the subwoofer and the nearest wall.

FRONT SPEAKERS

For best results the loudspeaker should be positioned near ear level and the loudspeakers separated a distance approximately equal to the listening distance. Angling the loudspeakers inward towards the listener will improve the image stability for non-central listeners.

Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance the midbass performance, although too close (particularly a corner location) and the bass may be unnaturally high and image performance may be degraded.

STANDARD SURROUND SETUP

This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.

CENTER SPEAKER

The loudspeaker should be positioned below the TV. For best results align the front of the loudspeaker with the front of the TV. If the loudspeaker is placed under the TV and very close to the floor, then tilting upwards may be beneficial.

When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.

SURROUND SPEAKERS

For best results the loudspeakers should be positioned at or above ear level. Depending upon your room layout and preferences, the left and right rear speakers should be positioned on the side walls just the rear of the listening position, or on the walls.

EXTRA POWER SETUP

This optional setup allows you to enjoy richer, fuller sound from stereo (2.1 ch) sources.

NON-SKID PADS

If the front and surround speakers are placed on a hard surface, such as wood or tile place four non-skid pads (small) on the bottom flat surface of the speakers.

If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor, such as wood or tile, place four non-skid pads (large) on the bottom surface of the subwoofer.

For Front and Surround speakers

Stack the speakers and fix with the brackets.

As shown in the illustration, stack the surround speakers on top of the front speakers. Align the bracket with the respective upper screw hole for the surround speaker and lower screw hole for the front speaker, and fasten the screws securely.

Caution

Do not attempt to carry the speakers when they are connected with the bracket. Doing so may cause damage to the bracket or worsen damage to the bracket and speakers in the event they are dropped.
